An introvert goes to Burning Man.

Post by pdkrassos » Wed Aug 02, 2023 6:21 pm

After four failed previous attempts, I just got my ticket with the OMG sale. A little overwhelmed as I try and ponder the logistics of hauling my carcass across country.

As most of my friends appear to have social anxieties relating to large crowds, I am flying solo.

Wish me luck.

Hey there, welcome to ePlaya!

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Hope your fears are quelled and you’re more excited than ever! My friends and I are all first timers as well and equally anxious and a bit nervous. Glad to know we’re not alone. I’m sure it will all go away the second we get there!! Sending positivity and good vibes your way!

I think I have everything sorted out. And hopefully I've researched everything enough and thought it through to the point that I won't have any problems. All while not being to redundant in my packing.

Got my gear packed. All I need to do is to load it into my car, start an audio book, and drive. For 30+ hours.
